Attunements
~8 days of silence~
Summer 2025
June 27-July 4th
​
​Join us this summer for 8 days of silence on the land.
Plant attunements are ancient tradition found on every continent around the world.
You will work with the spirit of a local plant and get to know who they
are in a deeply profound way. This year we will work with white pine, yarrow, and mugwort. You will be matched with a plant suitable to you or you can request one. They are listed at the bottom of this page.
​
​
Attunements are similar to a dieta. This is the word for diet in Spanish. For a length of time you are in silence and solitude. You drink the tea of a sacred plant to connect with their spirit. You are dieting the plant. When you give up your everyday actions and routines you can open to the gifts of the plant you are dieting in a profound way. During this period of time you abstain from regular life and eat very simple foods. It is a time to connect to the plant spirit consciousness.
In silence the plants speak. By having a simple diet you create the intention to quiet the body. This involves strong foods with strong energies.
Your plant communication skills will grow.
​
There is big trend of online dietas/attunements where folks continue their everyday life
and meet on zoom. This is not a true dieta. This is a different type of experience.

​
Who is this experience for:
Anyone who feels the call to connect with the spirit of local plants and trees.
For new or seasoned herbalists.
For anyone who works with plants in their daily life.
For people who feel a call to connect to Ancestral ways.
For folk who know online is not the way to experience a plant dieta.
In person on the land is essential.

"Blessed we are to dance on this ground with the rhythm of saints to carry the sound. We hold a prayer for the Earth, for the ones yet to come -
May you walk in beauty and remember your song.
Remember why you came here. Remember your life is sacred.
Remember why you came here, remember this life is sacred." Peia.

"To learn to see, to learn to hear, you must do this - go into
the wilderness alone. For it is not I who can teach you the
ways of gods. Such things are learned only in solitude. "
